For the second year running, no U.S. city has made the list of the world’s top Intelligent Communities of 2007, as selected by global think tank Intelligent Community Forum.
The ICF selects the Intelligent Community list based on how advanced the communities are in deploying broadband, building a knowledge-based workforce, combining government and private-sector “digital inclusion,” fostering innovation and marketing economic development.
The intelligent city finalists are:
Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom
Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea
Issy-les-Moulineaux, France
Ottawa-Gatineau, Ontario-Quebec, Canada
Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, United Kingdom
Tallinn, Estonia
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
